Ankara is celebrating the parliamentary approval of a memorandum reached with Libya on energy cooperation. Turkish media portray the approval as creating better political conditions for further energy activity. The immediate focus is research, with possible drilling expected to come at a later stage. A Turkish delegation met Dbeibeh and Haftar during a visit to Tripoli. Those contacts indicate that the memorandum depends on sustained engagement with Libya's political authorities. The analysis warns that parliamentary approval alone does not guarantee new production or exploration. Progress will require specific agreements, followed by operational measures on the ground, if Turkey is to strengthen its presence in the Libyan energy sector.
